Praise “Bob!” Here I have for you a wonderful old sermon (the oldies are the best, aren’t they?) from Reverend Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius, given around the time the Ice-T hit “Cop Killer” was in the news for being somehow a NEW theme in rock ‘n’ roll. A “new” theme that proves that what adults have been saying for (literally) millenia is right: Kids These Days are Out of Control and it’s all the fault of that awful “rap/rock and roll/jazz/ragtime/Tinpan Alley/Liszt/minuet/immoral combination of lute and singing” music! And OF COURSE that’s true! It’s always those people who are going out to have a good time who ruin the suffering for the Rest of Us!

Leaving Scientology is not very easy. It’s like leaving the CIA. Scientology apparently has secrets it doesn’t want anyone to know about. Suddenly, when Scientology is concerned about secrets (and refunds), it’s a business that sells products. The rest of the time, it’s a sacred holy Church. And you’d better not say it’s a business with product, because then they’ll sue–not like they won’t sue for thinking about Scientology in the presence of others. Oh, and your old friends and family in the church will shun you–of “their own free will” of course.

Listen to the even, calm and collected Scientologists, and the hysterical non-scientologist. until someone mentions the Fucking Insane, Bipolar, Needs-anti-psychotic-drugs-badly COB, the Chokes-His-“Fellow-Parishoners”-More-than-Homer-Chokes-Bart himself, David Miscavige. Calm down. Larry! (Don’t you love it when someone tells you to “calm down,” when you yourself feel pretty calm? A sure way to light a fire, and most likely in a Tech somewhere.)

The clips this week comes from an old propaganda/brainwashing American men film, “Your job in Germany.” Isn’t it horrible how a country believes its so superior that it has the right to invade other countries so it can be the world’s superpower? And the use of propaganda! Tsk! I guess the picture is right. They are born and bred with this belief of superiority. (snark)

It's one in the morning on Christmas morning, and I am working on this podcast. I, like everyone at this house, have a cold. Yet here I am. Dedication, wot? anyway, I hope you enjoy Batman and Wonder Woman in exciting Christmas situations.

I'm reading this awesome book about Christmas Origins, and I think some of you might like it. Old Magic of Christmas by Linda Raedisch I chose part of a chapter on elves, since my mouth dropped open more there than in the pages before. Who knows; I haven't finished the book!

This time, I'm presenting the podcast myself, as Krampus is recovering from a joyous Krampusnacht. We're going back to basics with Christmas Origins, and you'll be hearing a lot of cocktail lounge-style carols.

Yes, it's Time for Turkey, as the lady on the radio says. Or rather, as all those made-up freaks on the food network say. Actually, to tell you the truth, I love Thanksgiving Live on the Food Network. Much better than the balloon parade. Just listen to my sermon on the podcast, and Keep Calm.

As a secular society, we must strive to never be lax ub our language, and have a firm understanding of what we mean when we utter the dreaded phrase "Happy Holidays," Bill O'Reiily thought he had a Checkmate, Atheists moment when he gleefully pointed out that there are no holidays until Christmas. We poor, poor atheists would therefore be fool […]
